He may not have a single elite tool, but he has produced everywhere he has gone. Krebs definitely earned some brownie points with scouts over the past couple years for making the best out of a bad situation. NHL Central Scouting: No. He's listed at 5-foot-9, 157 pounds and may actually be smaller than that. He was named player of the game for Team Don Cherry at the 2019 CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game on Jan. 24 after he had a goal and an assist. He compensates for his lack of strength with his skating, hockey sense and playmaking ability. He was named the Western Hockey League Eastern Conference Rookie of the Year after he led first-year WHL players with 81 points (36 goals, 45 assists) and 12 power-play goals in 66 regular-season games. Video: Sabres draft D Ryan Johnson No. – Cam Robinson, Late booming players are fantasy gems as they hit the pro leagues sooner. Newhook has terrific speed, solid puck skills and has displayed a willingness to battle against larger defenders despite the fact that he stands at just 5-foot-11. The first two selections are almost certainly spoken for, but from pick three (Chicago) onward, this draft could go in countless different directions. He was named WHL Western Conference Rookie of the Year and a Western Conference Second Team All-Star. – Ryan Wagman, Complete pivot who has been trending upwards all season long. 4) Trevor Zegras (C, US U18-NTDP): I always advocate drafting for ceiling as opposed to floor and I would be willing to listen to an argument that Zegras has the highest upside in this entire draft class. Some of that was his own doing and some was the result of the numbers game. Owns noticeable speed which he compliments with high-end hockey sense. His status will definitely be a situation worth monitoring come draft night. Kakko is also a better passer than he gets credit for. – Ryan Wagman, Possibly the best sniper in the draft, his release is NHL level and his accuracy is lethal. Mastrosimone did his damage on the wing this season, but he has played some center in the past. Knight (6-3, 193) was 32-4-1 with a 2.36 goals-against average, a .913 save percentage and two shutouts in 39 games. NHL.com analysis: The Ducks added to a position of strength with Tracey. – Cam Robinson, A very fast winger, Brink tied for the top scorer spot at the World Junior A Challenge and was off to an explosive season with the Sioux City Musketeers before suffering an injury. It took Scheifele quite a while to put it all together and the Jets now have one of the best players in the league on their hands. There is a ton to work with here, but it may take a while for Newhook's game to translate to the collegiate ranks. I always advocate drafting for upside instead of floor, but I also can acknowledge that Soderstrom has very few weaknesses in his game. The left-handed shot had 11 points (eight goals, three assists) in five games for Russia at the Hlinka Gretzky Cup in August and eight points (three goals, five assists) in six games for Russia's under-19 team at the World Junior A Challenge in December. This is a kid who managed just five goals in 61 games a year ago. NHL.com analysis: The Canadiens must have been thrilled that the best pure goal-scorer in the draft was available at No. A steady riser. – Aynsley Scott, A point-generating machine. – Cam Robinson, Plays the game at warp speed. I'd argue it's even more of a concern for Brink because he's a considerably smaller player and thus will have a more difficult time carving out space in the offensive zone. 23) Raphael Lavoie (C, Halifax-QMJHL): Lavoie has been on the map as a top draft prospect for awhile. – Jokke Nevalainen, Son of Adam, brother of Cal, Nolan Foote has the family genes for size, but not necessarily for attitude. NHL.com analysis: The Flyers need young defensemen to add to their prospect pipeline and were able to get one of the best in the draft after trading down with Coyotes to No. Teams that win the Stanley Cup are always stacked down the middle and the combination of Hughes and former first-overall pick Nico Hischier would give New Jersey a one-two punch that they can rely on for the next decade. Soderstrom doesn't have ideal size (5-foot-11) and his physical game is lacking, but he gets a few extra bonus points for being a right-handed shot. What more do you need to know. In my view, the gap between he and Hughes is virtually nonexistent, but Hughes gets a slight bump for being a center whereas I feel Kakko's ultimate role is that of a power winger. Heinola's skating and smarts make him stand out, and his offensive game will mature as he does physically. Boldy (6-2, 196) has an excellent release, an accurate shot and can manufacture scoring chances for himself and linemates by playing an honest, hard, 200-foot game. Most world-class athletes (which all these kids are) can transform their bodies over time if they are committed enough and no one is doubting Zegras's dedication. It's a risk few teams can afford. If he were 9 days older, he would have gone in the first two rounds last year. His KHL contract reportedly lasts another two seasons, so don't expect to see him cross the pond until at least 2021-22. – Cam Robinson, If you liked Alex DeBrincat, you will like Cole Caufield. As long as Broberg cuts down on the mistakes (easier said than done), his foot speed alone should make him a useful top-four defender. He will get most of his production through positioning and persistence. In my opinion, Mastrosimone simply has too much going for him to let his lack of foot speed prevent him from developing into a solid player. 21 (North American skaters). Which is to say, he’s good, but he isn’t great. – Ryan Wagman, Following in the footsteps of Kieffer Bellows and Oliver Wahlstrom. NHL Central Scouting ranking: No. Hughes' ceiling is Patrick Kane and his floor is Clayton Keller. Byram is definitely the best WHL defensive prospect since Seth Jones went No. NHL.com analysis: It's rare when a team and a player match this well, but Knight is a potential franchise goalie going to a team that needs one. NHL Central Scouting: No. He has ideal size for a defender at 6-foot-3, but he doesn't use his large frame to his advantage often enough. – Ryan Wagman, Alex DeBrincat type tiny goal-scoring winger with lots of talent. 1 (International skaters). Nolan (6-3, 195) is a two-way forward with a good combination of size, reach and good hands around the net. Lavoie brings a ton of power to every shift and will be a fun two-way forward in the NHL. For one, he is listed at 5-foot-7 and 163 pounds, and no matter how you slice it, there are NHL teams that will shy away from spending such a high pick on such a small kid. He had seven points (four goals, three assists) for Canada at the 2019 IIHF World Under-18 Championship. Highlight reel goal by Kirby Dach pic.twitter.com/hVGm0pD87m. . Because of his size and the fact that he's American, Blackhawks forward Alex DeBrincat is the most common comparison for Cole. NHL Central Scouting: No. He played seven games for Djurgarden in the Swedish Hockey League late in the regular season and another four in the playoffs. His two greatest assets are his physicality and his shot. The right-hand shot had 72 points (34 goals, 38 assists) in 67 games. I don't see one elite offensive attribute here, but Cozens is respectable in most facets of the game. I'd be all over him in the second half of Round 1. . The rest of his game is that good. Knight has an excellent presence and balance, and he is very confident with the perfect mental makeup to excel at the position. Having said that, his success in the defensive zone at this point can largely be attributed to his sheer size. He's big (6-foot-3), athletic and eerily calm in net. Nonetheless, spending a first-round selection on an undersized prospect who is a poor skater is a risky, risky proposition. Kakko plays on Broadway beginning this fall. #SWTP #2019NHLDraft pic.twitter.com/vmmCjlmPMv. 27 (North American skaters). Robertson won the OHL Scoring Championship this season, but his professional future is still in doubt because there are concerns he will struggle with the pace of the professional game. Hughes might not a a franchise-altering talent in the McDavid sense, but he's an elite all-around offensive prospect and I would be shocked if he's not playing in the NHL next season. When you look at his numbers this past season (19 goals, 68 points in 64 games) for Kootenay, it's difficult to believe he'll be such a high selection. If he's unable to score consistently as a professional, he'll likely end up being a wasted pick. 73 on the midterm list. As far as we know, Podkolzin has given no such assurance. I'd be the first to bet on Caufield's ability to put the puck in the net, but the risk here is immense, as his floor is virtually nonexistent. 3 (North American skaters). The triggerman isn’t overly interested in the defensive game, but nor are most fantasy leagues. Pretty release. Knight is, in my humble opinion, the best goaltending prospect since Ilya Samsonov went 22nd overall to Washington in 2015. One year after posting just eight goals and 16 points in 60 games, McMichael raised those totals to 36 goals and 72 points this campaign. He also displays tremendous defensive awareness for such a young kid. 33 (North American skaters).

NHL Central Scouting: No. Video: Oilers draft D Philip Broberg No. The Red Wings have been looking to add young defensemen, and with Seider they have a player with one of the bigger upsides in the 2019 draft class. While all of that is great, there are still too many games in which he simply doesn't get a lot done, especially considering his overall skill level. Due to his elite vision, Zegras makes for an ideal option when working off the sidewall, which means he should dominate on the man advantage as a pro. He plays hard, has excellent vision, and has displayed an ability to make creative plays at high speed. He plays for one of the most prestigious clubs in the KHL and there are concerns about when (or if) he plans to come over to North America.
